Well today is the start of week 3 with out my truck. Im becoming good friends with the guy who owns the body shop were its at he calls me with updates almost daily he was shooting to have it done friday but i stopped in to check it out and pointed out a few things when they replaced the broken fog light they didnt match and when they ordered parts they ordered everything for the 98 and my fog lights were 99 to 01 so he pulled it off and ordered the other new one to match up, he ran into a snag with the handle and rod that goes behind the grill for the secondary hood latch mine was destroyed so he ordered the new one and it didnt come with everything else he ordered so he called and the supplier said its a back ordered part. so that means we cant close the hood yet, he has all the ac systems charged at a local shop a few miles down the road so friday it went to get the ac system charged with no hood on the truck. but hopefully i get it back soon ive gone from pissed off to depressed to pissed off again i want my truck back its all i have to drive ive been riding my harley rain or shine and its getting cold at night on my way home from work.

 

pretty pricey venison huhto bad about frikkin frakkin insurance company

 

Sucks that it's taking so long, but at least it sounds like the shop is doing it right.

 

I just want my truck back i don't think it should be taking this long, shop guys doing good work but the insurance company is constantly fighting with him about his cost and labor rates they have made no attempt to contact me about anything i have not received a check for the repairs yet and the shop hasn't ether.

got my ride back today looks dam good, im realy happy with it. ill post some pics this weekend after i get some stuff taken car of.

 

Awesome!!

I don't know if we like to throw around names of companies here or not.... (If it's ok to name 'names' then I think I know who your insurance company is! I have 2 or 3 in mind who seem to act like this.!!)
Along the same lines of naming 'names' I think I like my ins. co. My boy hit a friends new car the other day and it wound up being at least a $3,500 'scratch'! They are nation wide and had it handled the same day I called it in (Or the next, at the latest!)! Then my friend tells me how he liked dealing with them. The shop he is taking it to supplies a loaner vehicle while yours is being repaired. My friend asked for a rental and is getting that too from them. My friend stressed how he liked dealing with them and how they took care of everything. He said they already sent the money for the repair and his car doesn't go in to the shop until Monday.
I have no idea how this will affect my rates yet. I'm afraid to ask. Maybe I should so they will know I'm thinking about that. My agent had just called me a few months ago to tell me she had to 'adjust' my bill. I don't like hearing things like that but figure it is inevitable. I had just paid my premiums so I told her to send me the bill and I would pay it. She told me that I mis-understood. She sent me a check for almost $500!! I told her that she would have to call more often!! Since everything else has gone up so much this last year, I was blown away with this news!!
Oh, the other thing that seemed strange to me with this little 'accident' was when I called my agent to report it. A lady answered the phone I had never heard of. When she gave me her number to call her back later, I noticed it was in a way different part of the state! I asked her about that and she told me that their phone system will just forward a call to the next available person who can take the call. This just seems like a neat way of doing business! I kind of hate voice mail and I really hate getting stuck with the 'robot' computer that answers most phones these days. So this seems like an improvement to me! I don't mind talking to a 'new' person when they can help! And this new agent took care of it all for me too!
There is a big difference in ins. co.s for sure!! I would recommend this one to everyone. I saved a bunch of money switching to them and so far I like how they have taken care of me!!
